I just want to build a city

After the white fox god envoy returned with his chubby belly, he was complained by the great god and his kind, not to mention.The beginning of spring has arrived, which means that the arrival of Mr. Song Guojin's merchant ship is not far away.

Before the merchant ships came to Tottori Genji's territory, the built pier became a playground for the children of the territory. The craftsmen probably told them what the pier was, and these children came to the pier every day. Wait and see, waiting for the arrival of the big ship.

Not to mention the children, even the villagers in the territory are looking forward to it, because they have seen the biggest boat so far, which is just a small boat used by fishermen in the territory.I have heard many craftsmen and merchants say that the merchant ships that sail the sea need many, many more than the fishing boats, and the big ones can be as big as small hills.They all want to see what this boat as big as a hill looks like.

At present, it is said that merchant ships come to the territory to trade drinks. Of course, the lord mainly likes the handicrafts of the Song Dynasty, so he specially made friends with a sea merchant in Heianjing and asked them to come to Tottori for trading.

In the second month after the villagers sowed the seeds, in the middle of the night, a merchant ship slowly sailed into the territory of Tottori. The small hill-like merchant ship cast a large black shadow on the pier. In the hazy night, it looked like It is like a big monster that haunts the deep sea, very oppressive.

The boatman on the deck of the merchant ship walked into the cabin quickly after the merchant ship successfully sailed into the dock and stopped, stopped in front of a cabin door, and knocked on the thick wooden door. "Boss Jin, we have arrived, do you want to send someone to report to Genji's manor?"

"Huh? Arrived?" In the cabin, Boss Jin's voice was sleepy, but seeing that he could pass through the thick wooden door and answer the boatman's words immediately, he was actually alert.But, yes, a businessman like him who earns money from beheadings naturally has to be cautious along the way. If something important happens on the road, he can adapt to the situation and avoid the biggest loss.

Soon there was the sound of rubbing clothes while dressing in the cabin, and within a short while, Boss Jin had put on a suit of not-too-rich clothes.This is also particular. Ever since maritime merchants became popular, there will always be pirates appearing in the waters around the Song Kingdom. If they are dressed too well and lose to these pirates, they will only be considered as the leaders and killed. Pretending to be a small person who works for others, maybe he can give up his face and steal a living, leaving a glimmer of life.After all, there are always those people who live in that situation who hate the rich.

"Send someone to disembark, find out where the little Genji's residence is, and tell them to send someone to transport the iron ore."

"Yes." The boatman nodded in response.

However, before the two of them left the cabin, a boatman hurried in. "Boss Jin, I saw a fire not far away. It seems that a group of people are holding torches and coming towards the pier."

When Boss Jin heard this, he frowned first, and then quickly calmed down. "Why are you panicking? I don't know who is here. Let people hide things according to the old method."

"Yes." The man hurriedly went down to the cargo warehouse on the lower level of the cabin, mobilized all the people, covered the iron ore with straw, put it in the wooden box of the porcelain decoration, used it as a cushion, and hid some in it. Among those porcelain vases and so on.They seemed to be used to this kind of thing, and they packed up very quickly.

The group of people holding torches in the boatman's mouth arrived at the pier in a short while.At a glance, there are at least 30 to [-] people. Although the number of people on their boat is no less than this team, not everyone is like them, each equipped with a sword with a cold light.

Not all the people in that team approached, most of them stopped at the pier, and only the five people at the head came forward holding torches.

Boss Jin just stood on the edge of the merchant ship, watching the five people approaching, he wanted to see through the firelight that among the five people, there was the attendant next to Young Master Genji.But, unfortunately, he didn't see a familiar one.

However, he quickly dispelled his worries, because the five people who came raised their torches and asked them a question.

"The owner of this ship is Mr. Jin's merchant ship, a merchant from the Song Kingdom that the lord befriended when he was in Ping'an capital?"

"Your lord, is he young master Genji?" Boss Jin raised his voice and asked.

"Yes."

"The next one is the Jin family from the Song Dynasty." Boss Jin also understood that this group of people is the samurai army under the young master Genji.

This is a real kid.He thought so.Not to mention whether he has seen such precocious children in the past years of business, it is not easy for him to train these 30 warriors quietly.Judging from the reactions of these people, the action this night is what they routinely do, so there must be alternate teams, so it's not just two or thirty people.Young Master Genji must already have a team of a hundred people.

A private army of [-] people is nothing in the eyes of the Song Dynasty, but in this small country, it is quite the same thing.Moreover, Mr. Genji's demand for iron ore is bound to form a private army with more people.

Thinking of the identity of the young master of Minamoto, and the shaken political power in Heian capital, he understood that if he was allowed to grow up, he would only be a great person.Let's see if Mr. Fujiwara is a visionary.If he had that vision, he would have strangled this little Genji to death in this marginal land before he reached adulthood.If you don't have vision, it's fun.

However, judging from his current position, he doesn't want the original young master to die, after all, this is a long-term and very good deal.

The last time he went back, he brought back a glass and wooden door from a certain clan at a high price, and then offered it to a powerful official in the court, and promised to bring him more when he came back next time.That adult was happy, but gave him a lot of convenience.

Hearing Boss Jin's response, the leading samurai on the pier waved to the team behind him, and one of them left the team and went in some direction.Boss Jin guessed that the man should have gone to inform Young Master Genji.As for the others, they stepped forward neatly holding torches.

"Mr. Jin, the lord has already made arrangements for the goods you transported. It is so late, and it is inconvenient to disturb the lord's rest. Please ask Mr. Jin to deliver the things off the ship, and then we will transport them to the place where they should be stored. Tomorrow, again Lead you to meet the lord."

So, didn't the samurai just go to Genji's young master?

Boss Jin was worried if he didn't see Qingshu-kun, but he didn't choose to leave the boat surrounded by all these warriors. The anchor had already been lowered, so it was not that easy to sail.

After hesitating for a while, he asked his men to pack up the iron ore and send it to the dock one by one.With so much iron ore, it would be difficult for even two or thirty people to carry it all at once. Boss Jin asked his own people to carry the iron ore together under the pretext of helping, and followed the group of warriors into the territory.

The samurai did not shy away from this group of ship merchants, because if they wanted to do something, it would not be easy. The samurai mansion was next to the weapon store where the ore was stored. If there was a big movement, more of their people would come to support them.

Mr. Jin followed his boatman, watched the group of people carrying the iron ore, and walked into the town quietly.It is said to be a town, but most of the buildings are thatched houses. It is said to be a village, but there are so many farmers in the village.All the farmers in these thatched huts had their windows and doors closed, and none of them lit candles.Even with so many fire lights outside, I didn't see them coming out of curiosity. It seemed that they were used to it.

Of course, Mr. Qingshu considered that the merchant ship of Boss Jin who transported the iron ore would definitely not show up in broad daylight and let them carry it.It just so happened that this new batch of patrol soldiers was ready to be released, so a night patrol was organized.This year, there are much more young and middle-aged people who come to study in the samurai mansion than in the previous year. It can be said that all the young and middle-aged people in the territory can come.The remaining ones, of course, are not unable to come, but there are too many young and middle-aged men recruited in this batch, and Genji samurai are limited, so they can only stop recruiting.

Of course, all these young people who were recruited to study in the samurai mansion chose the best group as patrol soldiers.In this way, it is still twice as many as the 30 people in the previous year.

At the beginning of the night patrol, there were some curious people who excitedly opened the doors and windows to take a look when the firelight passed by. However, after a whole month, curiosity became commonplace and ordinary.Of course, everyone is also lamenting how good the Lord Lord's arrangement is, so that if something happens, they will not be ignorant.Of course, they didn't want anything to happen in the territory.

Boss Jin didn't follow them for a long time, then stopped, and by the light of the fire, he saw clearly that the samurai who left first was going to get the key to the warehouse at the back door of the weapon shop, and came to open the door.

The samurai stacked the iron ore in the warehouse in an orderly manner. Boss Jin felt relieved when he saw where the things were placed with his own eyes. Under the "escort" of the samurai, he returned to his merchant ship.All this made Boss Jin subconsciously sigh, Genji Haruki-kun's management is orderly, comparable to an orthodox army.

He didn't know that after all the boatmen got on the boat, the warriors who left the pier put aside their cold faces and chatted excitedly one by one.

"My God, this is the first time I've seen such a big boat. It's really much bigger than the boat we used to go to sea."

"The voice is quieter, who do you want to wake up?" The five people who took the lead were among the patrol soldiers who came out in the first year, and of course they were also veterans in the territory. They were the first group of villagers to follow Mr. Qingshu.However, soon, the old seniority could no longer bear the serious expression on his face. He puffed up his chest and said proudly: "Everyone performed well today, which scared those businessmen. If we act like we have never seen the world Doesn’t it make these merchants look down on the lord. With the lord around, Genji’s territory will only get better and better, let alone a merchant ship of this size, there will definitely be bigger ships... No, say Maybe, we will have such a big ship ourselves."

"What are you talking about! It must be a bigger ship than this one, and our docks are full, and merchant ships from other places can't come in." Said another patrolman in the lead, saying so He couldn't help but control his voice, but fortunately, they were still some distance away from Zhuang Min's residential area at this time.

For a while, the excited patrol soldiers could only hear laughter and laughter, and they had infinite longing for the future.This was absolutely impossible in the past.Against these expectations and excitement, is the blind trust in Lord Genji.

……

Early the next morning, after Mr. Qingshu finished washing, he learned from Mr. Zhongtian that Boss Jin's merchant ship had arrived at the pier of the territory.

After he finished his breakfast, if he wanted to see Boss Jin, someone would go to the merchant ship to invite someone over.

"Then after I finish my breakfast, let someone invite Boss Jin over." Qingshu-kun sat down on the futon in front of Xing's table, and then continued. "Has anyone checked the amount of iron ore delivered to the weapons shop last night? Is it the amount I agreed upon?"

"It has already been cleared overnight. The gold boss sent not less, and a little more. The Shi Chuan family has also seen it. The quality of the iron ore is not too different."

"That's good, you told Mr. Sanjo, let him not be restrained, and use this batch of iron ore." Mr. Qingshu

"Yes. According to what you said, I hope he can forge some good knives and equip the first batch of patrol soldiers." Nakatahara replied.

After hearing this, Mr. Qingshu nodded with his head in a bun.Come to think of it, Sanjo-kun should be able to understand what he meant, and devote all his energy to forging a famous sword.

After breakfast, Mr. Qingshu waited for Boss Jin's arrival in the hall.

When Jiulang was ordered to come to the pier to pick up the people, the pier had already been surrounded by several layers of villagers.Although the patrol soldiers last night had begun to have the self-esteem and pride of being a reserve warrior, and would not easily reveal their shortcomings to outsiders, but most of these villagers who knew nothing did not have this mentality.They are more curious and delighted to see things they have never seen before. Even if the patrolmen surround the pier to prevent them from approaching, they are unwilling to leave.

However, everyone has their own things to do. When Jiulang came, some old farmers were ready to leave and go to work in their fields.

It's time to be curious and curious enough, someone took the lead to leave, and seeing people coming from the manor, they scattered away in twos and threes.When Jiulang led Boss Jin out, there were only some young Zhuang people left outside the pier, most of them were children.After all, children's curiosity is not so easy to lose.

After seeing Boss Jin brought out by Jiulang, the curiosity of these children also faded a lot.

"I thought it would be very different for someone with such a big boat."

"It looks similar to the vendors in the territory, hehe."

"I thought these powerful people were as good-looking as the lord."

"Your lord, there is nothing comparable to others. Did your head get electrified by the thunderfish in the sea yesterday?"

Boss Jin couldn't help feeling a little ashamed when he heard the innocent words of these children by the pier, so he talked to Jiulang who was leading the way. "Under the rule of the young master Genji, in some respects, it is really better than many places I have seen."

Hearing this, Jiulang raised his head slightly. "Of course, the lord is different from ordinary clan officials, and how can we compare them together."

Boss Jin paused, and looked at Jiulang in front of him with some strangeness in his heart.In other words, shouldn't everyone be humble at times like this?He remembered that the people of this small island country, because they believed in Buddhism, had always been very humble. Are you so impolite?

Boss Jin doesn't understand, people's hearts have been satisfied, why do they need to ask gods and Buddhas to bless themselves?What's more, the gods and Buddhas don't want their lords, and they may not be able to help you tide over the difficulties.Let’s see how they lived in such hardship in the past ten years, prayed to God every day, and what came from their prayers.However, there are also some reasons for dishonesty.

……

"My lord, Mr. Jin is already outside."

"Mr. Jin, please come in." Mr. Qingshu sat upright in the living room, with a table in front of him, and a futon on the opposite side of the table. Preparations for the two to meet in Heian-kyo.

When Boss Jin walked in on his knees, what he saw was the scene of the young man chuckling before the case. If it wasn't for the wrong location, it would definitely make people feel relaxed. "My lord."

"Mr. Jin, you're welcome, just like in Heianjing, come and sit here." The fan in Qingshu-kun's hand nodded to the seat opposite him, and his words were as relaxed as when they met for the first time.

This is different from the time in Ping An Jing, when he was in Ping An Jing, he definitely felt that this little son had an extraordinary status, and he was not an ordinary child.From last night until now, he has experienced some things and seen some things, and he understands in his heart that if he grows up, he must be a character, and naturally he must treat him respectfully from now on, don't look at the iron he brought to the young master Genji Mine, Genji Haruki is just a clan son of the small country of Dangan, but a merchant is a merchant after all, and he is a nobleman of the clan after all. Boss Jin knows this very well.Take Joe, and when Genji Haruki grows up, he won't have his own good fruit to eat, and he can't let go of the long-term business here.

Boss Jin thought so in his heart, but, according to what Qingshu-kun said, he sat on the futon opposite him, watched the lord's immature hand pick up the teapot, and poured him a cup of clear tea.

"I'm still young, drinking too much tea is not good for my health, so I only have the dried chrysanthemum tea from the previous year, Mr. Jin, don't dislike it."

"No, how could it be? During these days of wandering at sea, I just need this clear fire chrysanthemum tea." Boss Jin hurriedly took the tea brewed by Mr. Qingshu with both hands,

Seeing his appearance, Qingshu-kun chuckled. "Mr. Jin, you don't have to be so cautious. You have kept your promise to me well. Not only is there no shortage of iron ore, but the quality is not too different. I actually want to thank you." After finishing speaking, he picked up the tea bowl , I raised my hand to Boss Jin as a way of expressing my gratitude.

"Being a businessman is sincere. Although I earn money that can't be seen, I must abide by the basic morals of being a businessman." Boss Jin responded to Mr. Qingshu and took a sip of tea.

It was obviously just a pot of unattractive chrysanthemum tea, but it felt like fine wine after being drunk by the two of them.

Mr. Qingshu admired Boss Yu Jin for this, so naturally he didn't talk about other things with him, which made him feel uncomfortable. "Since Mr. Jin's iron ore has been delivered in full, and he still abides by business ethics, I can't let you down. I have already prepared the glass, and it is now in the underground warehouse of the Craftsman Chamber of Commerce. In the evening, the person who brought you will take your person there to pick it up. In order to prevent collision and breakage of each piece of glass, I have had people fix them with wooden strips. If you are not at ease, let people fix each piece of glass It should be no problem to put cotton cloth and straw in between."

"Thank you for your careful consideration for me." Boss Jin naturally smiled more sincerely when he heard Qingshu-kun say this.

"Where, Mr. Jin and I have a long-term business relationship. Of course, this first transaction must make a good impression on each other, so that we can be at ease in the following days, right?"

"You said so."

"Actually..." Mr. Qingshu looked at the smile on Boss Jin's face, and lifted his heart with words. "In addition to the amount of glass we agreed on, I will give Mr. Jin another glass of 100 yuan. I only hope that Mr. Jin can bring me something when he comes next year."

The smile on Boss Jin's face froze, and he hurriedly said: "Lord Genji, I found iron ore on the border of Koryo. something I can't do."

Qingshu-kun was amused by the frightened expression on his chubby face, because it really looked like those emoticons he had seen on the Internet in his previous life.

Qingshu-kun raised his fan and clicked on the table in front of him. "Don't worry, I won't let you do anything illegal in Song Dynasty. Has Mr. Jin seen the farmland and crops in my territory?"

Mr. Jin was also a little overly frightened. Hearing his question, he nodded a little too late to respond. "I couldn't sleep in a different place. Before dawn, I went out and wandered around, and I saw a few farmlands."

"So, Mr. Jin, what do you think of the crops in the farmland in my territory?" Mr. Qingshu asked again.

"The crops in the few farmlands I passed by were very healthy. The villagers in your territory took good care of them, and you are also responsible for your management." Boss Jin habitually flattered him when he answered, but this horse There was nothing wrong with the fart, at least the attendants guarding inside and outside the courtyard didn't feel that there was anything wrong.

"No, you didn't tell the truth. The farmlands of the Song Dynasty are not as simple as the crops in my territory."

It's not beans, rice, or some simple vegetables. The types of crops are really pitiful.To be honest, Mr. Qingshu is thinking about how to improve his food every day. However, he was not proficient in food production in his previous life. He didn't know how tofu was made from the soup tofu for breakfast.Since you can't enrich your meals through cooking methods, you can only enrich them through the types of cooking ingredients.

Boss Jin immediately understood what he meant. "You want, let me bring crop seeds that are not here next time."

"Yes, one of the seeds is the most important."

"What is it, please?"

"Cane sugar is made from sugar cane." Sugar made from sugar cane is richer in ingredients and better in taste than caramel.The more important point is that after the death of his grandfather, the method of making caramel will be mastered by Mr. Fujiwara. In order to prevent him from making more caramel to suppress the sugar production on his side, he has to produce better candy Come.

"..." Boss Jin was silent for a while, then nodded solemnly. "I understand. Although these sugar canes are troublesome, I can still find a way to bring them."

"Then trouble you."
